The thought that cares...
How does it feel to understand yourself fluidly, as a simultaneously
receptive and responsive inclusion of All you behold?
How does it feel to deny or be denied that understanding?
Inclusionality helps us to unthink the deeply entrenched kind of thinking that leads us into the profound personal and cultural suffering and conflict that comes from regarding ourselves as exceptions from, not expressions of Nature. Through inclusionality we can soften the hard-line definition of our selves and others as independent subjects and objects isolated by gaps, into interdependent, dynamic relational flow-forms, pooled together in space. We melt from icy solidity into a pool of warmth. We come to appreciate ourselves as receptive responsive inclusions of our natural neighbourhood, not alienated individuals. We come to understand evolution as a process of natural inclusion, the fluid-dynamic, co-creative transformation of all through all in receptive spatial context. This contrasts with what Darwin called 'natural selection' as 'the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life', an idea that arises from a mental block that isolates our inner worlds from our outer world, through the abstraction of material from immaterial. |
